Hey hey! Welcome to my first tutorial(EVER!) at High Hopes. I decided to make a fun pretty gift box to give to someone special.
enjoy!
-Start off with a 5″x 12″ thick double sided pattern paper(I used paper from Authentique’s Peaceful collection)
-Score at 1″, 4″ (on the 5″ side)
-Turn paper and score at 1″, 5″, 6.5″, 10.5″ (on the 12″ side)
-Refer to the template and make cuts, tabs & folds at marked areas.(This is by far the most complex part so take time here.)
-The sides of the top of the box will only have a 0.5 cm lip to create the peek-a-boo effect.
-I used a spellbinders insert and edge dies to create the 2, 4 inch long decorative edges with coordinating cardstock. (You can also use a border punch.)
-Use adhesive on the top of the edge and place on ribbon, trim and attach to side of the box with scorepal tape. Repeat for the other side.
-I used a spellbinders Demask accents die to embellish the front lip on the box, added a button and two small brads.(You may just add a button)

Outside of Box
-I decorated the top of the box with flowers(using a fast drying glue), rhinestones, a decorative brad and pearl pen. Then I used a corner rounder and rounded the front lip on the box.
